It's just a "fun" sport. I've lost really good friends to skydiving accidents. It definately takes the "fun" out of it. I haven't jumped since 1997.

Yeah, I noticed that he was struggling to keep her in the harness and he seemed in shock on the ground, with good reason.
The last thing needed at that sort of altitude is someone that doesn't or can't, for whatever reason, follow what they were taught step-by-step on the ground...usually, painstakingly taught, from some documentaries I've seen.
